Actual conversation in our house:

Zip: Mommy! Big poundcake!

Me, gesturing to plate of poundcake leftovers: Sorry, this is all that’s left.

Zip, pulling out saltines: Hello crackers!

Zip will not eat broken food – no half squares of graham crackers, no crushed saltines, and no crumbly bits of leftover poundcake. He will, however, eat food off the floor. Go figure.
